I'd be OK with Cruz but I think he has his sights set higher.

I think the U.S. Supreme Court is probably the most honorable government position out their in the world. With that said, I think it would be extremely hard for him to be appointed or confirmed since he’s served as a politician already.

Who the hell knows these days though

He released 20. Who were the other 11?

Cruz would be a hoot.

Sandra O’Connor had served in the AZ state Senate as a Republican, incl. a stint as Majority Leader. But that was a much less contentious environment than US Senate of now.

I believe Hugo Black was the most recent US Supreme Court Justice to have also been a US Senator, and he was appointed in 1937. Nixon considered nominating Howard Baker of TN and also Robert Byrd of WVA in 1971 but did not do so.

How old will he be in ‘32?
Trump will be replaced by Mike Pence in ‘24. Win re-election in ‘28. The Democrats can NEVER be allowed to occupy the White House again. They are untrustworthy.

I believe I voted for Cruz in the primary (I liked Trump from the beginning but I succumbed to family I went to polls w/)

oh, and he's a minority, it would have been perfect if he was also a woman.

Well, he can always claim he is a woman.

Problem solved!
